Bar Graph

A bar graph is a chart that uses bars or strips to represent and compare data visually. The bars can represent quantities vertically or horizontally. Bar graphs are used to compare things between groups or track changes over time as long as the changes are larger. There are three main types of bar graphs: vertical, which compares variables to a fixed value; horizontal, which allows negative and positive values; and range, which represents a range of data for each variable rather than a single value. Bar graphs are effective for comparing items between groups and seeing trends over time in a visual format.

WHAT IS AN BAR GRAPH?

A bar graph can be defined as a chart or a


graphical representation of data, quantities or
numbers using bars or strips. ... The more the
height of the bar, the more is the number of
the supply or item used. Fun Facts. The bars of
a bar graph can be represented both vertically
and horizontally. Bar graphs are used to compare
things between different groups or to track changes
over time. However, when trying to measure
change over time, bar graphs are best when the
changes are larger.
VERTICAL BAR GRAPH
A simple vertical bar graph is best when you
have to compare between two or more
independent variables. Each variable will relate
to a fixed value. The values are positive and
therefore, can be fixed to the horizontal value.
Horizontal bar graph
If your data has negative and positive values but
is still a comparison between two or more fixed
independent variables, it is best suited for
a horizontal bar graph. The vertical axis can be
oriented in the middle of the horizontal axis,
allowing for negative and positive values to be
represented.
RANGE BAR GRAPH
A range bar graph represents a range of data for
each independent variable. Temperature ranges
or price ranges are common sets of data for
range graphs. Unlike the above graphs, the data
do not start from a common zero point but
begin at a low number for that particular point's
range of data. A range bar graph can be either
horizontal or vertical.
When to Use a Bar Graph
Bar graphs are an effective way to compare items
between different groups. This bar graph shows a
comparison of numbers on a quarterly basis over a four-
year period of time. Users of this chart can compare the
data by quarter on a year-over-year trend, and also see
how the annual sales are distributed throughout each
year.

Bar graphs are an extremely effective visual to use in


presentations and reports. They are popular because they
allow the reader to recognize patterns or trends far more
easily than looking at a table of numerical data.
